A ringing instance of a sequel far outstripping its predecessor, Sergio Leone's For a Few Dollars More takes the lethal antihero from A Fistful of Dollars, gives him both a rival and an adversary worthy of sharing a gun-blazing corrida, and ratchets up the stylization to something approaching grandeur. This time the Man with No Name (Clint Eastwood) is a bounty hunter whose desert Southwest killing ground is suddenly crowded by the presence of an older, black-clad shootist (Lee Van Cleef). Individually and together, they terminate sundry grotesques while closing in on their biggest quarry, a memorably insane bandit called El Indio (Gian Maria Volonté is brilliant). There's just enough plot to imbue Van Cleef with genuine mystery, a dark avenging angel from a lost past whose pull would supply the emotional core of Leone's later masterworks Once upon a Time in the West and Once upon a Time in America. Leone's bravura widescreen compositions are breathtaking, and Ennio Morricone's music score--tinged with lunatic religiosity--is his first great one. --Richard T. Jameson

 Great Transfer! January 27, 2010
Rhody Ray (Rhode Island)
Except for "The Good, Bad & Ugly" this is another of my favorite movies. I wanted the special edition to learn more about Sergio Leone. Shorter featurettes (than GD&B) but still enlightning. I finally noticed after viewing both films that many of the costars are in both features, they just play different roles. Great print, clear pictures that only Leone can pull off (closeups supreme!). This was Lee Van Cleef's first starring role and he appears as if he has always starred in westerns (always played bit parts prior to this). A powerful pairing that really lights up the screen. I thought it was interesting that all the radio spots and trailers make it appear that Eastwood and Van Cleef are mortal enemies throughout this film when just the opposite happens (they team up to get Indio and his gang). I have not listened to the film's commentary track yet but that is for another day. Overall this is a five star addition to my westerns collection. They don't make'em like this anymore!!!

Este es el nombre con el cual este fantastico "Western" se conoció en muchos países de habla hispana, y es realmente apropiadisimo, al igual que su titulo en ingles que significa "Por Unos Dolares Mas"; inigualable historia epica de los tiempos de los revolveres y los lejanos dias en que el valor y la hombria eran puestos a prueba por los duelos cara a cara; la codicia, el amor al dinero, la venganza personal y el arriesgar hasta la propia vida por unos miles de dolares son el comun denominador de un filme que desde que comienza te amarra al asiento y te deja sin aliento de principio a fin; un Clint Eastwood (denominado aqui "El Manco" o "El Hombre Sin Nombre") sencillamente fantastico, un Lee Van Cleef (Coronel Mortimer) que te deja sin aliento y un villano (El "Indio") que es terriblemente sadico, cruel, demente...y espectacular.
 Weak Link in the Leone-Eastwood Trilogy September 14, 2009

Though worth seeing, director Sergio Leone's "For a Few Dollars More" (1965) remains the least satisfying film in his Clint Eastwood trilogy. Despite superior production values and undeniable style, Leone's second Italian Western is too ambitious for its own good - resulting in an overlong, somewhat draggy narrative. Strangely enough, Eastwood's Man With No Name takes a back seat to Lee Van Cleef's veteran bounty hunter in this revenge saga. Memorable action sequences and Ennio Morricone's classic score help redeem the uneven tone. Leone benefited from the film's flaws when crafting his immediate follow-up, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1966) - a fully realized masterwork with no dead spots.

It has been said that this is the peak of stylish, interpretive westerns with a soul, a nasty soul. But is that enough for you...? It's hard to say much about this film without giving it away, or boring you to tears. This is the pure beast, so to speak. It makes no pretense toward anything other than the more base aspects of human nature.... The music has a full range, often inappropriate, yet striking. The overall artistic expression of the sound, film, and dramatics is hard to knock. But,...as in the words to the introduction of this film,.." Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had it's price ".., in like manner this film is of a limited value. By today's standards, in terms of body count and graphic violence, it will not be considered extreme by many, but that isn't the point. This film is devoid of balance, or any redeeming quality beyond it's own expression and experience. So are you capable of embracing a monster.....? Try it and find out. John Ford and Howard Hawks must have shuttered after seeing this Western from hell,......" what have I wrought...!
